Hear what ex-Joomla ecommerce customers have to say

Shopify makes it easy to switch from Joomla ecommerce

Shopify has proven to be an ecommerce platform for actual
business owners, not designers or developers. Our previous
ecommerce was difficult to customize and difficult to navigate
and update. Where we were saving a little money on the month to
month payment, we were paying with our time and sales. With
Shopify, our site is the best it's ever looked (without hiring
an expensive designer), and we are finally selling our products
online, which our fans have been begging for year after year!

I just found out about Shopify last week and have spent some
time with it. It looks like they offer everything under one roof
with apps that could give us similar functionality at a fraction
of the cost of what I'm spending now.

Developing custom eCommerce solutions can often be a long and
expensive process. For a small percentage-based fee, Shopify
instantly provides everything needed for a basic web shop
including hosting. It's a joy to use, easy to set up and the
administration interface beautifully designed.

I have been absolutely blown away by Shopify. It is everything
that an ecommerce platform should be. We realised that we
needed something more stable and robust. Something that could
scale and support our growth.

There are many things that we love about Shopify, and we feel
like we are only scratching the surface of it's potential. The
advantages of Shopify over Joomla ecommerce so far are:

Shopify is a hosted solution, so I no longer have to maintain servers, apply software updates & worry about security issues.

Shopify is a dedicated ecommerce platform, whereas Joomla ecommerce is an extension to the CMS. The problem with this is that Joomla is not actually built for ecommerce.

Shopify themes / customisation is so simple & powerful. Joomla does have a good templating engine, but Shopify blows everything out of the water with it's liquid templating language.
